What are your car/s and why did you choose to buy those car/s?

**Ski_JeRZe** · May 13th, 2005 11:48 PM

I only have one car as for now. I have an 05 VW golf. I bought it because it's my dream car at that time. Now, I want a Audi A3.

:btw: My husband also drives an 05 VW Golf.

A3

I like the speed, exotic nature and design. I also like somethings for its size and off-road ability if you wanted to take it out of the city. Utility is also good. An all around sports car that I can take to the track is also good. I think thats it.. Oh yeah, Color too!

Mitsubishi Adventure.

I chose it because:

- It has more interior space than a sedan.
- I've proven it in many instances to be reliable.
- It came out just in time with the new look.

I used to have an Isuzu Trooper skyroof. Maintenance was too expensive which was P5k every 5000km. On the 20000km I paid 16K. Grabe. It was also too big for a daily drive and too intimidating to my customers. I'm in sales so akala ng customer ko malaki ang profit ko. Hehe

So I decided to change it to a Nissan XTrail. A good daily drive, nimble and powerful. I look younger pa driving it hehe. And its not too flashy to my customer. 5000km pms cost me 2K.

have an 02 Navigator, 03 BMW M3 and an 05 MB e55...i will be getting rid of the M3 soon as it just sits in the garage

Bought the M3 first, drove a civic for a year in order to save up for the M3...the Navi is a company car, saved up again and got the E55 a few months ago

aray...tinamaan ako nito ah

actually i wanted a topaz blue one but didn't want to wait 3 months for a special order. the black one i got had all the options i wanted except for the color.

bought it because i really wanted a sports car, and a 3-series was the best one in my budget that could also double as a family car. also looked at the audi s4 but was turned off by reports of unreliability and the tight backseat space

Aray ko rin!!!! I always like either black or white. When I was looking for one the dealer didn't have one in alpine white, kaya doon na lang ako sa jet black.
First I bought a conversion van because we do a lot of outdoor camping when my kids were small. Then I bought me a 4X4 SUV truck, since I bought a house, I need something to carry some of my home improvement item and at same time puwede rin gamitin for outdoor camping. Then I bought my son an Acura Integra for his hi-school graduation gift because he graduated with high honor - Valedictorian. (He is now senior in college and will be graduating this June with a BS in Biological Science at Univ. of Cal, Irvine) and lastly my bimmer for luxury and speed. (BTW I sold my conversion van, and the 4-runner SUV truck is being used by my middle son)

Ha ha! Sorry ha!!! Seriously though... pag may party sa bahay, my street looks like a BMW dealership. I love these cars though.

**oldblue** · May 14th, 2005 05:07 AM

i bought my 1st car in 2000, 2nd gen Mitsu Strada 4x4, 900k pa lang noon financing.

reasons I bought it: road safety reasons, for business and personal use, pangbaha and I cant afford (kahit naman ngaun) a Pajero, my dream car, back then. after almost two months of using it, I asked my dad to swap his 99 CRV with my strada. I didnt like the handling of strada before bec. I got used to gasoline cars for so long. Pero ngaun, wish ko lang balik nya yun strada, grabe mahal ng gasolina ngaun!

nope, numbers don't match but it has been fully rebuilt inside and out/over and under during a course of 10 years. I'm hoping to be able to put in a 10 cylinder motor in next year or so...

Too bad it would have been worth a whole lot more. I've seen matching cudas go up to 100-200k!

hmmm... I have seen them go up as high as 90K on eBay but that was the one built for Don Johnson's TV show a while back. Joe Rogan of Fear Factor had a car built by a local shop here... RadRides by Troy. I think the tag price on that was 175K and none of the numbers matched... so I figure, 35 years from now... this could be an add-on to my retirement fund. Ha ha!!!

The way things are now, you never know whats going to appreciate in value! I think she's a keeper if not for the "shock" value alone

**V-dub*chic** · May 14th, 2005 07:35 AM
